Hongkongers and tourists from the mainland and Taiwan waited in long lines underneath Canal Road Flyover in Causeway Bay for “villain hitting” today (Mon) on Jingzhe, or called Insects Awakening, – the third of the 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar. A Sichuan tourist surnamed Qian said she came for “villain hitting” to comfort herself, hoping to resolve gossip surrounding her and a legal dispute. Another tourist surnamed Chen from Dongguan said “villain hitting” has become an annual habit for him and all he wants is inner peace. The ‘villain’ has now been taken care of,” said the wife called Miky, who recently came to Hong Kong for work. Mr. Wan, who has been in this profession for years, expected more tourists to visit him after the borders reopened.
